The Wa­ter and Sew­er­age Au­thor­i­ty has strong­ly con­demned the re­cent acts of van­dal­ism and theft tar­get­ing its in­fra­struc­ture in the Gas­par­il­lo area, which have se­vere­ly dis­rupt­ed wa­ter sup­ply to sev­er­al res­i­dents.

In a state­ment yes­ter­day, WASA said be­tween March 31 and April 1, over 34 res­i­den­tial con­nec­tions in San Fabi­an, Rawl­ings Av­enue, Recre­ation Ground, PRV Good­man Trace, Bhag­wans­ingh Trace, and Spring­land’s Third and Fourth Streets were van­dalised, with brass fit­tings and ser­vice lines stolen.

It said these crim­i­nal acts left af­fect­ed cus­tomers with­out a re­li­able wa­ter sup­ply, forc­ing the au­thor­i­ty to pri­ori­tise emer­gency re­pairs while sup­port­ing po­lice in­ves­ti­ga­tions.
